In the novel and in the 1976 movie, Logan 5 is a man. A sandman. That's how it is and that's how it should remain.
Oh wait, my bad. John Hyams, right. Peter Hyams lol...I need to put the crack pipe away ;P

Peter Hyams? I did hear Winding was producing it. I do like Lustig's original, but will still check out this new version when it hits HD home vid.

Great shout Rodent. Happy Pappy day to you!
Happy Father's Day.

I've had my 2 Daughters all weekend which is why I've been quiet the past 2 days or so.

First time they've stayed at mine for a lengthy period, overnight, both at the same time.

Movies (introduced them to Waterworld) and showed them Gremlins 2 for the first time as well.

Note for all Dads out there... never underestimate how strong the bond is between Father and Daughter, when you sit and comb their hair after they've had a bath.
Out of many things I miss about being a Dad, doing their hair is one very, very special thing.
Every Dad should do it while they have the chance.

Still sounds like a more interesting choice than another generic-looking white guy.

It's still worth questioning whether or not Logan really needs to be male. You'd think a premise about how people are effectively condemned to death after hitting a still-fairly-young age would have the kind of subtext that more accurately reflects what it's like to be a woman than a man (especially when it comes to professional capacities or Hollywood biases).
Well, if it's going to be a female might as well at least make her somewhat interesting or it's just swapping a generic male lead for a generic female one.

That said I'd have little interest in a remake no matter what they choose to do tbh.
